Enable Header Stripping Protocol on Ports

You can enable header stripping protocol on any network or hybrid ports. If you enable the header stripping protocol on a port, you cannot configure the VXLAN ID or L2GRE ID for that port.

To enable a header stripping protocol on a network or hybrid port:

  1. From the device view, go to Ports > Ports > All Ports.

  2. Select the required network or hybrid port on which you want to enable the header stripping protocol, and then click Edit.

  3. Under the Parameters section, from the Header Stripping Protocol drop-down list, select one of the following options:

    • None – Header stripping protocol is not enabled on the port.

    • MPLS-L3 – Port is enabled with MPLS header stripping protocol to strip the MPLS header from the MPLS layer 3 packets that are tapped on this port.

    • VXLAN – Port is enabled with VXLAN header stripping protocol to strip the VXLAN header from the VXLAN packets that are tapped on this port.

  4. Click OK to save the configuration.
